"No problem."

Chen Mo agreed directly.

They didn't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway.

Seeing Chen Mo agree, the others had no objections.

They were even a bit eager to try when they heard the children were going to have a music class.

"I have a problem."

Yang Mi raised her hand guiltily from the side, her pretty face blushing.

"Um, what if I can't sing?"

Her voice was very small.

Hearing Yang Mi say this, everyone on the scene laughed out loud.

"What! I'm serious, I also want to do something for the children."

Yang Mi pouted and said. "It's okay, besides music class, we also have art class and physical education class that can be taught."

The principal smiled and helped Yang Mi out of the situation.

He wished they could all teach these children a class; that would surely attract many teachers to come to Taoyuan Village to teach.

……

In the afternoon, after eating and resting for a while in the newly built staff dormitory, the principal arranged for Chen Mo and the other four to teach in different classes.

Needless to say, Chen Mo went to teach the music class.

The other three guests also chose a classroom they were interested in and went in.

The camera crew of the program also followed each guest separately.

"Wow! It's Big Brother!"

As soon as Chen Mo walked into the classroom, he heard a familiar voice ringing out.

Looking up, it was actually Tie Zhu.

Seeing Chen Mo, Tie Zhu waved at him very excitedly.

"This is a second-grade class, Tie Zhu. How old are you? Shouldn't you be in kindergarten?"

Chen Mo was stunned and asked Tie Zhu.

"I'm eight years old, Big Brother!"

Tie Zhu answered with his head held high.

This answer was something Chen Mo hadn't expected at all, because Tie Zhu looked like a child of only four or five years old.

Not just Tie Zhu, the children in the whole class were about the same height.

Looking at the children in the whole class, Chen Mo fell into deep thought.

After carefully asking about the family situations of these children, Chen Mo finally understood what was going on.

Not only did Chen Mo fall into silence, but the cameraman also fell into silence.

It turned out that these children were all left-behind children.

Tie Zhu's parents only returned to Taoyuan Village this year; they had been working outside before, and they only returned to the village because Tie Zhu's grandfather was seriously ill and needed someone to take care of him.

Only Tie Zhu's mother had returned.

By next year, Tie Zhu's mother would also have to return to Guangzhou to work.

By then, Tie Zhu would be a left-behind child again.

The families of these left-behind children were relatively poor. The ingredients Tie Zhu's mother gave Chen Mo and the others last time were truly the kind of ingredients that could only be taken out during the New Year.

It was also because rural people were simple and hospitable that they were willing to be so enthusiastic toward Chen Mo and the others.

"Big Brother, is that stuff delicious when made into a meal? My mom usually can't bear to make me so much food."

Tie Zhu wiped his nose and looked at Chen Mo expectantly, asking.

Clearly, he was very greedy for the ingredients from that day.

Chen Mo was silent.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Tie Zhu was already eight years old, yet he looked as tall as a kindergarten child.

It was all because of malnutrition.

Thinking about it, the reason he was bullied by Sha Dan was also because of this.

"Tonight, you come back to the Mushroom House with Big Brother, and Big Brother will make you something delicious."

Chen Mo suddenly felt a bit heartbroken and said to Tie Zhu.

He and this child Tie Zhu could be considered to have a bit of a connection.

"Really?"

Hearing what Chen Mo said, Tie Zhu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Mo with excitement.

"Of course it's true. When has Big Brother ever lied to you?"

Chen Mo walked up to Tie Zhu and rubbed his head.

"Wow, that's great."

The other children also looked at Tie Zhu with envy, clearly envious that Chen Mo could go eat a good meal tonight.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the other children, Chen Mo felt a sense of compassion.

"How about this, I'll treat all of you to a meal today."

Chen Mo said.

"Yay! That's great!"

Hearing Chen Mo say this, the group of children were all very happy.

The smiles on their faces were very sincere.

For them, happiness was just a simple big meal.

Chen Mo taught the children a music class first. After the music class, Chen Mo called Xu Xiaofeng to his side.

"Help me find a chef from a restaurant in the county. As long as they are willing to come and cook tonight, I'll pay them 1,000 each. Also, help me buy all the best ingredients available nearby. I'm personally paying to treat all the elementary students of Taoyuan Elementary School to a meal."

Chen Mo instructed Xu Xiaofeng.

"But Brother Mo, the program team..."

Xu Xiaofeng said.

She wanted to say that the program team might not agree with Chen Mo's approach.

After all, in "Longing for Life," all guests were not allowed to use their own money.

"I planned the program, just do as I say."

Chen Mo continued to give orders.

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Xu Xiaofeng felt it was settled and quickly ran off to act according to Chen Mo's instructions.

……

5:30 PM, Taoyuan Elementary School.

On the playground, dozens of large tables had been pushed together, and many foods were placed on each table.

"Wow!"

The children had just come out of the teaching building and saw many delicacies.

They let out exclamations of surprise in unison.

"Chen Mo, this is?"

The others also walked out of the teaching building, walked to Chen Mo's side, and looked at him in confusion, asking.

Chen Mo repeated the story he had heard from Tie Zhu and the others.

"There's nothing much I can do. Since I'm these children's teacher for a day, I'll treat them to a big meal. It can be considered doing what I can for the children."

Chen Mo said.

At this time, Xu Xiaofeng was still responsible for arranging the children's dinner on the side.

"Brother Mo has done much more than this. He just donated another 500 million to children in poor mountainous areas across the country as funds for charity breakfasts, to ensure that every child eating a charity breakfast has eggs and milk for every meal."

Hearing Chen Mo say this, she quickly added.
